Why do so many people who barely passed high school science,

do you think the average climate change supporter has the base of knowledge required to even begin to engage with the topic?

Their new age priests have imbued them with the powa of the AGW carbon rationing Gods!

You might be allegedly smart on scientific topics but you are dumb as fuck when it comes to human psychology 101.

It's simply the fact that humans want attention and valdation. A natural and easy way to achieve that is to tap into the social conscious and project an image of being knowledgeable on a hot button topic.. the kind of topics that get gullible people on board and hothead idiots like you woynd.. so that the topic stats relevant. To them it doesn't matter if they are right about something or not, as long as people are paying attention to them when they spout their inane trash.

Get an education retard.

I had my own ideas of why, dummy, I was asking you faggots.

And I agree with you entirely.

>>7850881

No. They should keep their mouth shut too and let the scientists in those fields do their fucking work.

Biology is not a real science so even a hobo has a valid opinion on that subject. Everyone does, actually.

Have you listened Stephen Hawking talking about philosophy?

It's literally cancer.

>muh hur dur, It doesn't require hard maths therefore It's easy and useless.

ok

>>7850922
Someone has obviously never taken organic chemistry or biochem.

This situation >>7850922 has gotten outta hand, it's like he searches for "biology" in all the threads and the catalog and samefags the same comments every time. Since it's been happening a lot in the last 3 days I assume it's just one insecure high schooler instead of troll/banter. Don't seriously reply and hope for a ban.

>implying I passed high school science

Jokes on you OP I failed four high school science classes!
>Tfw I'm not kidding.

Im a biologist. I trolled a bunch of physics gurus on pf into believing they werent alive. We arent... But thats not important... Trolling is about pissing ppl off

Three words: Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I don't know, the greenhouse effect at least can be taught to third graders.

I love that paper with all my heart.

Same reason why everyone is a movie critic these days

Thank you based Jew tube for literally butchering film criticism

>>7850870
Same reason why Kanye West feels like tweeting everyone that Bill Cosby is innocent. It's a common behaviour amongst many people. There is nothing "wrong" with having an opinion either. Why? Because "right" and "wrong" are just mere constructs. I do understand how it can be annoying/aggravating though.

>>7850870
>an opinion of things they literally do not have the framework to understand?
That's called having an opinion, OP. Opinions don't require science.

Dunning Kruger effect probably

Government policies in a democratic nation require public approval to enact. This isn't a technocracy. People are expected to have rudimentary opinions on all issues.

>Hey anon what do you study
>Physics
>Are you team quantum gravity or team string theory
>I really haven't covered those topics yet so I could not tell you
>I'm team quantum gravity

And still better than Krauss and the black guy.

There is an interesting talk between Kauffman and Pigliucci on the pop-scientists and their uninformed opinions about humanities.

Not when you're referring to whether or not an observable phenomenon exists.

There is nothing wrong with having an opinion, but the opinion can still be wrong.

>>7853702
Then there is something wrong about having an opinion if it's wrong. It is that you are wrong. I'm really pro freedom of speech and all but man, those faggs who don't vaccinatr their children... It makes me rethink my principles.

I have some friends, that although will admit they're wrong if proven so, will go to great lengths to try to be right in an argument. They just hate being wrong. Now imagine if they didn't have the very nice quality of being able to admit they're wrong.

>>7853751
Have you ever admitted that it didn't matter if you were right?

The average climate change supporter doesn't have any education on the topic either, and just dimwittedly spouts insults and repeats some slogans he heard from famous people about it. No surprise that climate change deniers see their views confirmed when they only meet a bunch of mouthbreathing idiots who have strong emotional opinions even though they can't explain shit. There is a lot of scientific data on climate change, but its loudest proponents don't know any of it.

Philosophy requires no education. Literally any kindergarten child is a philosopher.
